Ringer Cutoff - Avaya Communication Manager Administrator's Manual

•
Terminating Extension Group (TEG) Calls
TEG calls are not affected by the ring values, but continue to be directed by the bridged call
alerting administration.
•
Voice Mail Systems
Voice mail systems may look for ringing applied to a port to trigger call answer. Undesirable
adjunct operation may result if ring-type translations are inappropriately set for ports serving
these adjuncts.

Ringer Cutoff

Ringer Cutoff allows multiappearance telephone users to turn audible ringing signals on and off. This
feature does not affect visual alerting.
When this feature is enabled, only Priority ring (by default 3-burst), Redirect Notification, Intercom ring,
and manual signaling ring at the telephone. Internal and external calls do not ring.
The following table summarizes which calls are affected by Ringer Cutoff.
Call Type
telephone to telephone
Attendant to telephone
Internal tie to telephone
APLT trunk to telephone
Trunk to telephone
Priority call to telephone
Intercom call to telephone
Manual signaling
NOTE:
If Call Coverage is set to Cover All and Ringer Cutoff and Redirect Notification are both
active, then Redirect Notification is received. If Redirect Notification is not active, no
audible alerting is received.
A user may not wish to be disturbed by the arrival of incoming calls, yet not want calls to be redirected
immediately to coverage. For example, an executive may want a secretary to answer calls before they
redirect to coverage. The bridging user (the secretary) is not affected by the executive's activation of
Ringer Cutoff.
If a primary extension and all other users with bridged appearances of the primary extension activate
Ringer Cutoff, an incoming call silently alerts all of the telephones and then redirects to coverage.
